Cookie Policy

This policy explains the cookies and browser storage used by NextPrep Academy, their purposes and durations, and how to control each optional provider.

How storage is used

Cookies and local storage can persist between visits; session storage normally lasts only for the current tab or browser session. Necessary storage supports login, security, language, display preferences, checkout, chat continuity, and protected content.

Optional providers are off by default. Refusing them does not prevent account creation, purchase, or paid access.

Necessary storage

  • clp_session — secure, httpOnly authentication cookie; up to 30 days or earlier logout or revocation.
  • cloud-leader-prep-cookie-notice-v3 — first-party cookie and local-storage value recording separate provider choices; 12 months or until preferences are reopened or site data is cleared.
  • academy_locale — selected language; 12 months.
  • academy-theme and academy-pricing-currency — display preferences in local storage until changed or cleared.
  • nextprep_public_chat_session and nextprep_public_chat_badge_seen — pseudonymous chat continuity in session storage for the browser session.
  • Stripe and the selected Google, GitHub, or Firebase authentication method may use necessary provider storage during checkout or sign-in under their own policies.

Optional providers

Each provider loads only when its own checkbox is selected. Google Tag Manager is not loaded, so a container cannot bypass these separate choices.

  • Google Analytics — audience and conversion measurement; may use _ga and _ga_<id>, commonly up to two years subject to browser and account settings.
  • Microsoft Clarity — interaction analytics, heatmaps, and session replay; may use _clck, _clsk and provider-domain identifiers with Microsoft-controlled durations.
  • Reddit Pixel — advertising and conversion measurement, including page, course, checkout, and purchase events with browser, network, course, plan, value, currency, and transaction context.

Choice and withdrawal

The banner offers Necessary only, Save preferences, and Accept all. Optional boxes are not preselected. Cookie preferences in the footer clears the saved choice and reloads the page, disabling optional providers until you choose again.

Provider cookies already stored may remain until expiry unless deleted in browser settings, but the site will not reload that provider after withdrawal. Blocking necessary storage can prevent login, checkout, protected access, or saved preferences from working.

Necessary storage keeps the site working. Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Reddit Pixel are optional. Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy.
